I am enjoying YLF so much more than any shop site and I'm thinking this evening it's because Angie styles things for us, shows possibilities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618899 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 16:40:09 +0000 WitchyD 1618899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having same issues this spring. Nothing is interesting me, or has stood out.<br />I've been searching Ebay for things I want, such as silk blouses.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618676 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 18:03:40 +0000 rachylou 1618676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that you make me take a second look in the frame of Country Punk... I think you are right. I loved Coach's winter collection for 2015, and I think the change-over to spring put me on my backfeet. But now I'm seeing the details... Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618673 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 17:55:36 +0000 annagybe 1618673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're still thinking Country Punk, Coach's Spring 2016 collection probably hits it spot on. <br /><a href="http://www.coach.com/shop/womens-spring-2016" rel="nofollow">http://www.coach.com/shop/womens-spring-2016</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618671 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 17:51:15 +0000 rachylou 1618671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll give French Vogue a try. I had a looksee at the Barneys website - much improved, the functionality - but nothing caught my fancy. I'm toying this morning with the idea of a look that's less 'street.' But still... Rough. I should go back to working on Country Punk... Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618658 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 16:43:06 +0000 annagybe 1618658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just inspired by Lisa's link to the street style looks from French Vogue.<br /> Currently chasing the Levi's Re/done line of jeans. They're hard to find. Went to Barneys earlier this week. Only version that fit me was deeply unflattering. Also looking at the infamous Levi's wedgie jean, which seems to have a similar fit for much cheaper, but it's sold out in the color I want.<br /> Also decided I want a bomber jacket<br /> But yeah, it seems to early to figure out the spring stuff </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618581 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 06:44:14 +0000 rachylou 1618581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, maybe I should start looking at Instagram. I think American purveyors have abandoned the look book on their webs... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618580 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 06:42:41 +0000 rachylou 1618580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that's a problem, rabbit. I get to feeling done with a trend before it ever manifests in-store.</p> <p>I also notice... styling is everything. I'll see the same piece in one mag and think 'meh.' Then I see it in another and think 'huh, better than I thought.' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618419 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 21:35:35 +0000 rabbit 1618419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think for me that 'everything is the same' thing happens because it's an evolution, not a clear demarcation year to year. &nbsp; So maybe first I see something on a runway look, and then it's in fashion week street style looks, and then the glossy mags, and by the time it is fully entrenched in mall retail it seems a year later almost (even though it's not that long), or it's something like the boho 70's look for juniors which seems like it's been going on for years now.</p> <p>I think it just happens faster/further ahead for someone following the more cutting edge or early adopters. &nbsp; Or I miss a micro trend that happened, oh years before and I suddenly get interested in it for some reason and of course nobody is selling that thing now, lol.</p> <p>I think right now I'm more consciously intrigued by the possibilities of a different or new to me color, than by that many new to me silhouettes in blouses or jeans or the nu70's thing. But I'm sure those looks will capture me too eventually. &nbsp;I find shoes interesting pretty much all the time though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618411 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 21:21:05 +0000 rachylou 1618411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These fogs do just descend on me...

Thank you. Just thank you!! It's amazing I can find my way down a hallway, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618333 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 18:19:00 +0000 Angie 1618333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As soon as it starts warming up in your area Rachy - and you are OUT of your puffer - you'll be more aware of the fabulous Spring and Summer styles. You go through this every season!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618286 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 16:52:28 +0000 celia 1618286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Una, it comes to a certain age that you get the feeling of ' I have seen this before.' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618265 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 15:57:27 +0000 catgirl 1618265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you.&nbsp; I think part of this is that at a certain age everything starts to look familiar or like something I've&nbsp;either worn before or rejected before for good reasons.&nbsp; Le&nbsp;sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618154 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 07:28:25 +0000 rachylou 1618154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Like maybe it's them not me? Hehe. What a thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618137 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 06:22:24 +0000 Adelfa 1618137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cerinda might have something. Every once in a while I fast from most of my fashion blogs. When the fast is over, I resubscribe to fewer blogs than before.</p> <p>However. What you're describing sounds like me when a season's offerings are just not that interesting to me. I say give up for now and spend your money on massages! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618129 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 05:58:21 +0000 Cerinda 1618129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boredom or overstimulation, Rachey? Unsubscribe! &nbsp;There's just too much out there. &nbsp;I'm so glad I have Angie to filter the noise for me. &nbsp;Even the occasional glossy mag undoes me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618083 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 03:44:25 +0000 Meow 1618083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Yes! Yes!&nbsp; I have this problem all the time.&nbsp; In the last couple of months I bought my first pair of leggings, combat boots, tunic, and military jacket.&nbsp; I know...not all that current...but hopefully still in style.&nbsp; It just seems to take me a while to get used to the new styles.&nbsp; Pointy toe lace up flats for one - they look like some kind of midevil torture device!&nbsp; But I'll probably have a pair in the future - after they're deemed "out of style".&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618082 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 03:40:29 +0000 rachylou 1618082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should just type in Angie's terms, shouldn't I? But I'm subscribed to all these newsletters and email alerts... I want to be able to open them and not automatically think 'blah'... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618079 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 03:34:43 +0000 Anonymous 1618079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It can seem that way to me and then Angie points to what is fresh and new, like cropped flares and lace-up shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shopping-problem#post-1618076 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 03:29:48 +0000 rachylou 1618076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just having a look around online, seeing what might be incoming for spring... and everything looks the same to me. I don't believe it's all the same. It must be my head. My eye must just be gravitating to particular things - attention blindness. Does this happen to anyone else? Any tips for waking up one's visual sense? </p>
